does toxins can block DNA synthesis

1 answer

Yes, toxins can block DNA synthesis. Toxins are harmful substances that can interfere with various cellular processes, including DNA replication and synthesis. They can inhibit the enzymes and proteins involved in DNA replication, preventing the synthesis of new DNA strands. Some toxins can directly damage the DNA molecule, causing strand breaks or adding chemical modifications that disrupt the replication process. These disruptions in DNA synthesis can lead to genomic instability and various adverse effects on the cell's function and overall health.
